I come to you
not with humility, embarrassment, or shame, but rather with humbleness
and a great need for help.

As all of you know or haven't known, I have not worked since
October of 2012 because of my knee surgery and the post-op infection
that followed. What most of you didn't know is that I already had a
bad back from the major car accident we were involved in back in 2001.
The main reason why I worked nights afterwards was because of lesser
physicl demand on my body. Well, following my knee infection with my
last surgery, I was put onto 2 very strong anti-biotics, which I was
discovered of being allergic to until after a 4-6 for both. The damage
that was caused to my body has been a constant battle of medical
attention. I am under the care of multiple Doctors whom I see every
month. It isn't uncommon for me to have more than one appointment a week.

Because of my health condition, I have filed for Social Security
Disability and still have several months until my medical case is held
in front of a Florida Disability Judge who "Should" approve
my disability case with my health condition presented to them. I am
presently 38 yrs old, but feel like I'm 90.

With ths being said, I am most proud of my wife Stacy. Through
all of my personal hardships, she has completed college with her
Associate's Degree in Nursing. She has just started her 2nd job at a
hospital's wound clinic, in which she is scheduled 3-4 weekdays each
week. She will be getting her first paycheck from there at the end of
this week. She is still working at the nursing home, which she has
been employed to for the last 9 years. She is now a Supervisor there,
but the position is 3 days a week: Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. With
recent nursing home company changes, her hours went from 40 hours pay
per week, while only having the work (2)16 hour shifts on Saturday and
Sunday, down to 32 hours pay for working 3 days.

Now comes the reason for this fundraiser:

We had another car accident back in November 2013. As a result,
Stacy and myself incurred further back injuries. Stacy, who as you
know is our family's income provider was unable to work for a short
while, whether it was leaving work due to pain or doctors
appointments, and the many medical reasons incurred. She had exhausted
her sick time pay and vaction pay to help us have money, and both of
our parents helped us with food and money for bills too.

Stacy's pain from the accident was really bad and her ability to
work full time and to pay our bills was hindered for serveral months.

We were creative when Stacy's college hours were full time
througout the week, and she was at school night and day, unable to
work overtime. This crazy schedule of hers was her last 6 months of
school. We managed by acquiring "Payday Loans" to help us
pay for food, rent, utility bills, and the montly medical appointments
and prescription medicines. At first, one loan helped us get through
until the next payday, and so forth. We had acquired 3 of these types
of loans by the time last fall season had reached.

We were just in the position to start paying them off, and did
manage to pay 1 off, when the car accident occured. Despite the
financial assistance from both of our parents, after the car accident,
and Stacy's decreased income, we had to get more "Payday
Loans," just to survive and make it through each month.

Our family's boat is sinking! We have done our best to stay a
float and tread water, however, since "Payday Loans" are
re-occuring each pay cycle, Stacy's paycheck is more than half
consumed to pay off these automatically bank account deducted debts.
Our bills are getting paid later and later each month, now bills are
becoming a month past due. Our rent too is late, and not been paid on
time for several months as well, each time being penalized a hefty
late fee to an already expensive rental lease.

Our goal to this fundraiser is to acquire the money necessary to
pay our rent, utility bills that are overdue, and to Pay Off these
"Payday Loans." We wanted to use our Income Tax Return to
pay off these "Payday Loans" and finally be free and clear
of them, but since we had to send it by mail this year, we do not
expect to get the refund until the end of April or into May.

I have done my best that I possibly could do by using the
"Payday Loans" as "life preservers," but the time
has come where I know we will not survive and stay a float by the time
we get our income tax return.

I am Humbly asking for all of our family and
friend to please donate what you can. Please Forward and
Share this Caccamise Family Fundraiser to
ALL of your Facebook Family and Friends and
have them share and send it to all of
their family and friends!! We need this fundraiser
to spread like an emergency fundraising wild fire, so our word and
situation can be read and donations from througout can be made.

All fundraising money received will immediately go to pay our
rent, "Payday Loans," monthly utility bills, and other
miscellaneous debts, in that order.
